Trick Daddy Reacts To Backlash For Not Identifying As African American
As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this week, a clip surfaced of Trick Daddy telling his social media followers, “I’m trying to figure out how ‘Afro’ get in front of my motherf*****g [inaudible].”
In the clip, Trick said he’s never been to Africa and “ain’t thinking about going there.” Despite this, the rapper explained that he knows Africa is a beautiful place and the “motherland.” However, it’s not the land of his mother, grandmother or ancestors.
“That ain’t their land. America’s real, true land is right here — in the U.S. soil,” he said.
Then, on Tuesday, November 12, The Shade Room obtained another clip from @livebitez of Trick Daddy doubling down on his sentiments.
“My grandmother ain’t never tell me not one motherf******g story about Africa. I don’t know nothing about Africa — all I know is the only African people I run into, they think they better than us over he,” Trick said. “So what you [inaudible] worried about me saying that I’m not African? I’m just American! What is wrong with you n****s?!”
In the clip, Trick also appeared to reference statements shared on the ‘Rickey Smiley Morning Show‘ in response to his viral stance. Swipe below to see Trick’s additional thoughts and the sentiments shared on the radio show.
